mircea_popescu: "can i please have the bullet then ?" "uhhh... but we don't make those anymore ? too expensive."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not saboteurs, it's kids looking for a special identity.
mircea_popescu: mmm... no, colonized. invaded by the tumbler, twitter etc hordes.
mircea_popescu: (mostly through historical accident : gypsy women used as whores throughout middle ages, ended up with kids without actual parentage, got "soft" father's name as it were)
mircea_popescu: "omaigawd i have to finish this by tomorrow because i had three weeks to do it but i was busy until tonight!!111"
mircea_popescu: Adlai btw, is ariel sharon totally a girl's name only to my ear ? or is it kinda lulzy in teh medinat too ?
mircea_popescu: welcome to beartraps & caltrops day on bitcoin-assets. i'll be your lovely host, with the mostly incontinent Sharon Cohen serving as my co-something or the other.
mircea_popescu: davout is all "wtf this doesn't exist. oh THAT. myeah ok, it exists."
mircea_popescu: but it's brief and blessfully resolves in the hospital.
mircea_popescu: actually... some hobby of WIVES doth render them anally incontinent
mircea_popescu: eh that's a myth. anal sex helps continence, doth not reduce it.
mircea_popescu: the excruciation however, yes. i think you even saw one of the crosses.
mircea_popescu: no, not software. if i wake up to find that slavegirl shat the bed, i'm not going "shit must die"
mircea_popescu: grep is ~overall~ faster for this optimization, or in other words : the downtrodden are downtrodden for a reason. step on their faces!
mircea_popescu: and here comes the doozy : the correct way ~for everyone~!
mircea_popescu: fact remains that raping the poor raw so that the rich can have it slightly better is not only the traditional way to do things back when things were still being done, but actually ~the correct way~.
mircea_popescu: and the case of optimized grep is the first and the last word on the matter of "you can not have democratic computing anymore than democratic anything else in this world. it's either good or democratic, pick one."
mircea_popescu: how did "worst case" interest group get to lose 70% so that "best case" interest group can gain 6% ? clearly this was enforced by an opressive, chauvinistic patriarchy which, to bother an irigarayism, "favours the speed of light over other speeds that are much more important to us".
mircea_popescu: anyway, not that any of the retards involved in such considerations have the skill or werewithal to get it, but : this is a fine example of privilege in computing.
mircea_popescu: friend, and the last thing I see before I black out is a patch of yellow cheese powder inside her long tangled beard."
mircea_popescu: "Put another way, grep sells out its worst case (lots of partial matches) to make the best case (few partial matches) go faster. How treacherous! As this realization dawns on me, the room seemed to grow dim and slip sideways. I look up at the Ultimate Unix Geek, spinning slowly in his padded chair, and I hear his cackle "old age and treachery...", and in his flickering CRT there is a face reflected, but it's my ex girl
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's prolly put i nthere special for shooting down ben_vulpes dating attempts in kindergarten.
mircea_popescu: that yahoo thing tho... this is EXACTLY what yahoo was. even had to ban "shit" and "shithead" separately.
mircea_popescu: "And, as everyone knows, the best way to get amazing results is to set arbitrary goals without any basis for believing they can be reached. So I set out to search faster than grep by thirty percent." << damned straight. it's exactly how i manage. especially those... contractually obligated, shall we say.
mircea_popescu: "i used to be a pop star but then i took a down to the knee"
mircea_popescu: jurov that's ok, i'm unable to find working code anyway.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : Upupa epops might be the best latin name ever.
mircea_popescu: currently for instance, cpanel forums require ssl, and so i'm not visiting them. i don't generally visit sites that don't have a
http version.
mircea_popescu: redefining "everywhere" != succeeding at ssl everywhere.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: 1. A WoT host has been mentioned a few times in the logs - MP's new hosts << yeah i had sent teh guy an invite. all it takes is for him to actually show up etc.
mircea_popescu: lol i go to bed, gabriel_laddel comes online. avoiding unpleasant convos yo ? :D
mircea_popescu: actually the forecasts are that 2020 bw will be less than 2015 was.
mircea_popescu: bandwidth alone is not really that type of change tho. and it stopped going up also, esp in the us.
mircea_popescu: i am at the forefront of people who noticed, and demand changes.
mircea_popescu: i guess this could be progress. it could also be normalization. whatever it is...
mircea_popescu: IF i am going to allow these retarded kids out of their basements and into society, they HAVE TO spiff up their act.
mircea_popescu: hm... i think the ddos might still be on. that lolz dude left exactly 246 s after i voiced him.
mircea_popescu: it has a decent chance at simply ending the world, now.
mircea_popescu: it might have been ok for 50 years ago, when the most damage that it could do was someone losing his retarded tripod poems
mircea_popescu: it is, if you wish, like if bitcoin were to take over and everyone depended on it in 2065, but then for some reason people started moving back to 0.5.3 codebase.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is that we're regressing to the past (srsly, the varnish adventure is so reminiscent of "dos utilities" scene it bleeds) but with much more powerful tools and with much more societal dependency on them.
mircea_popescu: i was ftr not proposing this was a thing at any point in the past.
mircea_popescu: jurov so is your argument something like "oh look how cute, mp found a socialism HE CAN BELIEVE IN!!1" ?
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "well it mostly works" "you just have to..." "hey it works on MY system" etc.
mircea_popescu: what you _have_ in point of fact ACTUALLY LOST is the ability to live in a world where things actually work,
mircea_popescu: " that his way of life is just great the way it is, it is a pretty good sign that you let him set the agenda once he realized that his way of life was under threat. Since you have nothing to defend, your self-preservation instinct will not activate hitherto unused parts of your brain to come up with reasons and rationalizations for what you have done, you will not be aware that you have been taken for a ride before it
mircea_popescu: make them miserable and hate their lives. People are pretty good at detecting that this is a likely outcome of thinking, and it takes conscious effort to brace yourself and get through such experiences. Most people are not willing even to /listen/ to arguments or information that could threaten their comfortable view of their own existence, much less think about it, so when you cannot answer a C programmer's "arguments
mircea_popescu: The core problem is that C programmers think they can get away with doing much less than the Common Lisp programmer causes the computer to do. But this is actually wrong. Getting C programmers to understand that they cause the computer to do less than minimum is intractable. They would not /use/ C if they understood this point, so if you actually cause them to understand it in the course of a discussion, you will only
